The plasma concentrations of von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag) were determined in 101 patients who had the following diagnoses: vasculitis 8 patients, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) 51, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) 28, asthma 7, hereditary angioedema 7. The greatest mean concentration of vWF:A
While patients with type 2B von Willebrand's disease often exhibit thrombocytopenia, platelet morphology is typically normal. We describe a 44-year-old Jamaican man with thrombocytopenia and a history of bleeding, who had giant platelets on his peripheral blood film. Functional studies and von Wille
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a disorder of systemic platelet aggregation. Evidence has accumulated that the aggregating agonist in TTP of all types is likely to be von Willebrand factor (vWf), especially unusually large vWf multimers derived from endothelial cells. Recent evidence in
